Please don't make me beg. Sit up and tell us if you've chased any cool cars lately.

Yeller Murcielago, black SRT8 300, and a few Euro spec Cadillacs today. Bergundy w/ silver stripes Shelby Cobra yesterday.

first enclave i saw in my hometown, the red color, looked nice.... forgot, saw a ...thinking a ford GT last sunday, had a mean exhaust note and flew by pretty quickly.

Saw an old 9-3 hatch covered in splattered paint and Troll Dolls...

Another Shelby Cobra, this time bright red, and a Magnum cop car.

A brown Turd pulled over by a state Po-po

An Enclave in the Toyota HQ parking lot

Rode in a 97 Sebring Conv. Yikes.

A couple new 9-5's and a new 9-3

Oh, I saw a Lucerne Super yesterday, but just at a glance in rush hour traffic, it was like 10 cars behind me.

I saw a sharp silver '04 Marauder w/ sun roof last night... parked next to a black Charger SRT8.

- 1970 Chevelle, daytona yellow w/ tuxedo black SS stripes

- 1935/6/7 flat black coupe of some sort... maybe a '36 Pontiac? on a dark road at 2am

- 1973 Pontiac Grand Am 4-dr post

- 1947 Ford pickup (for sale in a dirt driveway)

- Magnum SRT-8 hidding in the back of a poor lit parking lot... MENACING.

-1981 DeLorean DMC-12

-1957 Chevrolet 210 sedan (in primer)

-1954 Chevrolet pickup

-1968 Buick LeSabre hardtop sedan

-1966 Buick Electra 225 hardtop coupe

Kinda sorta stole my title.

In any event, this morning had some gems:

-72 Ford LTD 2-door, FOR SALE!! ($5000 though) Could have done without the 70s aftermarket mags, but it's a serviceable package.

-Canadian Pontiac Tempest (our Chevy Corsica). Wondered how the driver got it and where he was from

-1st gen. Monte Carlo with SS badges (did actual SS Montes exist back then?)

-1st gen. Monte Carlo with SS badges (did actual SS Montes exist back then?)

Yes, but they had really subtle SS badges down on the rocker trim, IIRC.

An Enclave in the Toyota HQ parking lot

Were they busy disassmebling it and reverse engineering it?

Base Nitro, it made me want to vomit

Oh, I saw a Lucerne Super yesterday, but just at a glance in rush hour traffic, it was like 10 cars behind me.

Wow, does the Super's grille reflect that much sunlight that you can spot one from that far?

Saw a Ferrari F430 at the office building's garage last week. From what my colleagues told me, the car has just been there for months with no signs of actually being driven...

haha Satty.

I saw a Caravan and a Maserati Quattroporte the other day too.

A lot of HHR Panels lately.

I did finally see an HHR panel on the road, I had seen a few on lots. I also saw something else rare that caught my attention, but I've completely forgotten what it was now.

Red, uplevel HHR panel. White/black vinyl top/black cloth '71 Impala coupe with Cragar S/S rims, lookin' fine.

I came | | this close to buying a 1951 Packard 200 coupe today for the astronomical sum of $800 until I remembered that I had no place to put it and my poor Eldorado would never get done if I kept buying stuff. Shame, too, as it was 100% complete and wasn't in terrible shape. What a little honey of a car. It's times like this that make me wish I had a big barn to squirrel something like this away in till I was ready for it.

Yes, but they had really subtle SS badges down on the rocker trim, IIRC.

'70 and '71 only (no '72 SS cars) and the emblem is on the bottom trim of the front fenders.

Were they busy disassmebling it and reverse engineering it?

FWIW, I've seen a Lucerne there, too. Might have been rentals.

At Hampton/Salisbury Beaches last night:

- 1955 Chevy two-door sedan hot rod, burgundy/white

- 1937 Chevrolet 4dr plainted cream/red with PT cruiser tail lights. (travesty)

- 1996 Dodge Viper GTS

- 1965/6 Mustang ragtop

- some POS mid-1970s Triumph

- 1968 Dodge Charger

- 1973 Pontiac Firebird Esprit (in what looked like Buick Saturn Yellow) with the loudest rumbling exhaust EVAR!

- 1994-6 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham in burgundy, MINT.

Dont know how I forgot this last night, but the aforementioned "forgotten" spot was an SLR McLaren alongside a Testarossa. Also saw a pair of 1964 Corvair 95s, one with a decent looking interior and a bit of rust on the outside (window van), but mostly there, just in need of some TLC, the other had a solid body, no chrome and a terrible interior(panel van). If I had the time, I would pick them both up and make one fine running van.

Going down a busy 4 lane street (45 mph limit) Friday evening I saw a couple bubbas racing in diesel pickups (a Ford Super Duty and a GMC HD).... too bad their wasn't a cop around to nail their asses...

During a bike ride yesterday, I saw convertibles galore. You'd swear is it was Florida or something.

Out with Alex today, walking around downtown, we saw just about every model Mercury has sold in the last decade, including the Mystique and FWD Cougar. Seriously, whens the last time anyone saw one of those, I swear I haven't seen one in years.

a Citroen 2CV

FWD Cougar. Seriously, whens the last time anyone saw one of those, I swear I haven't seen one in years.

Like twice a f@#king day. It's just another chick car around here, lumped in with the Cavalier/Sunfire, Focus, Neon, etc. I say you're a lucky man if it's a rarity for you to see one of these piles of crap.

Holy hell, that is the exact same car my dad used to drive...even down to the color.

I keep seeing a black/silver-stripes Ford GT parked in a faculty spot on campus (UCSD).

Holy hell, that is the exact same car my dad used to drive...even down to the color.

When it drove by I was with Julie at a pizzeria &

after I said "wow, that Firebird was even louder

than the old Sixty8" she turned around towards

the road and exclaimed: "That was a CAR? I

thought it was a TRAIN!"

Julie is the only girl to have ever regularly be a

passanger in my Camaro so she's USED to loud

cars, she has cool memories of her and her bro.

in their dad's '69 Mustang fastback BOSS so

when this girl is shocked you know the car was

either running open headers or someting wild.

Sunday morning I passed by another gorgeous

two-door yellow Pontiac. This time it was a

sunflower yellow Grand Prix with a white interior

and Pontiac rallys. He gave me thumbs up for

'71 SDV btu not before I honked and gave him

a wave. Of course being a warm Sunday morning

his windows were ALL down as they should be

on a gorgeous hardtop like that.

How can you tell when Fly is in town? My first confirmation he had landed......

Nice car. My dad's car in high school was a dark blue with black top and interior '70 model SJ. It was his baby..... right up until the day that a drunk woman backed into it with her Chrysler Imperial at about 30 MPH. It hit the front corner of the car so hard that it climbed onto the nose and caved in the A-pillar. If he was sitting inside instead of at the pizza shop across the street with my mother, he probably would have been killed. When the police arrived at the scene, the officer refused to give a ticket to the woman who was obviously drunk and had a half-empty bottle of whiskey in her glove box, telling my father "she's suffered enough tonight."

Someone should have caved in her "A-pillar"

(BTW the GP I saw was a '69)

In front of the showroom 20 min ago:

Hardtop, Six-cylinder automatic, bought ten years ago for $4000.

Body pretty rough cosmetically but a nice solid driver.

Guy also owns a 1927 Chevrolet 2dr sedan.

Miata and a Saab 900.

The P-B-G dealer near my place got it's first Enclave on the lot, a Cocoa Metallic one, as well as 3 Acadias. The Saturn Outlook is still king by far, there's twice as many of them as Acadias on the road.

Miata and a Saab 900.

God damn Brookville has to be boring if that's a spot.

Why not mention the 1998 Camry LE in beige with the gold package and a missing hubcap.

1924 Buick rumbleseat roadster

Check and mate.

XP:

Let's see a damn photo next time, what a tease to just MENTION a '24 anything!?!?!?!?!

Here's two from today:

beater semi-classic Firebird Esprit. Rough but not a parts car just yet.

WHITE interior.

Brandy-new Shelby GT

Solstice-fest today. Saw 3 on the road and 2 on carriers.

Oh, and a Shelby GT500.

I saw a dark gray BLS today (Dutch plates). It actually looks nice in the real world.
